Facebook group raises money for theft victim Continued from page 1
“It was vandalism.” She reported it to the police. Teresa decided to voice her frustration via social media. She is a member of Facebook, and decided to post a notice on a couple of local pages, including the popular What’s Up, Arnprior. She wrote about the theft to let her regular customers know the business is closed.
“All I want to say is thank you and sorry to those who visited and were honest and good people,” she wrote. “The stand is no more... and to those who stole my produce, money and baskets, I hope that it was worth it.” When it comes to social media the predominant view is that trolls and shaming are omnipresent. Most contributors are bitter, cynical, and violently judgmental of even the slightest perception of wrongdoing. That is not What’s Up, Arnprior.
“We have a really classy group of people who are supportive of people who ask for business recommendations and things like that,” said Chris Cooper, page manager. “It’s going fantastic. We have close to 2,000 members. There have been some bumps. Some have had to be removed. But by and large it is a fantastic group of people.” Cooper read Teresa’s message and decided to do something about it. “As the administrator of What’s
Up, Arnprior, I am all about seeing good things in our community,” Cooper wrote on the page. “So I set up this opportunity for people to chip in to offset the financial loss Teresa and her family have suffered.” He pledged all the money raised through gofundme.com would go to the family he had yet to meet. Within 24 hours all she had lost was replaced in funds. “I feel really good. It was a nice thing for everyone to do for her,”
Cooper said. “We’re trying to be a positive resource for the town and that takes work. So often you hear the loudest complaining. And sometimes the good stuff doesn’t get noticed.” It was certainly noticed by Teresa. She is grateful and appreciative, and noted even a woman walking by one day insisted she take $20. “She heard what happened and wouldn’t take it back,” Teresa said. “Everybody’s been so great. I can’t believe they did that for me.”

Arnprior minor hockey president abruptly resigns Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
To the surprise of many on the executive, Arnprior Minor Hockey Association (AMHA) president Matt Naismith handed in his letter of resignation last weekend. Naismith, who has volunteered with the organization for nine years and has two players in the system, cited recent decisions as lacking integrity and contrary to “sportsmanship, fair play, and good citizenship.” AMHA vice president Dustin Dorkin said he was extremely shocked by the resignation and would have preferred it to have been handled internally. Naismith’s letter was leaked anonymously to the ChronicleGuide. “I’m extremely shocked and disappointed,” Dorkin said, “and as an organization we’d like to thank him for his participation and wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavours.” Naismith’s lengthy letter focused on a particular rep team of kids that he and Dorkin both wanted to coach. Naismith dropped out of the election (voted on by executive members) because he held the position last year. He informally offered to be assistant coach. The executive rejected the idea, saying tradition and policy dictate that the coach selects his assistants. The selection is made after independent evaluators choose the rep players (house league players don’t have “tryouts” but are evenly placed on teams.) To pick coaches – typically from among parents – before
the team is established, would be a roundabout way of insuring certain players make the team. “You can’t name coaches until the team is picked unless you are a nonparent coach,” Dorkin said. Naismith said in his letter that he accepted the ruling at the time on the basis that a coach should be permitted to choose his or her own bench staff. However, he observed several actions during the try-out period that he questions. Some kids vying for the team missed ice sessions but were still selected. Naismith said he did not complain because the players are excellent and deserved to make it. But when it came time for final releases, he had a problem with the proper process not being followed. Players and their parents are usually taken into a private room where the coach (in this case Dorkin) and another member of the executive are on hand to tell the child if they made the team or not. The room often offers a way for kids to leave the building discreetly, should they be upset by the decision. Dorkin and the executive were on hand to speak with all players trying out. But when it came to the last two players, the executive member allegedly left to watch his own child play. Dorkin insists the member was there to inform the players that they made the team, and left only when the coach began to discuss minor issues such as when the next practice would take place. “(The member) was there when they were told they made the team,” Dorkin said. Naismith’s primary reason for re-
signing was for what allegedly transpired after that. In the letter, he says he was informed that the parent issued an ultimatum. “(H)is child would play on the team only so long as I was not permitted to be involved on the ice, on the bench, or as part of the coaching staff with the team,” Naismith wrote. That was an attempt to influence who would be on the coaching staff, Naismith asserts. Dorkin wouldn’t comment. “You know what, that’s his stuff to deal with. That’s a private matter,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that’s what he believes. We are in the business of benefitting the children.” Naismith wrote that he has striven to treat everyone with respect while working to improve the organization for the benefit of players. He noted that no formal complaint has ever been made regarding himself. “I have worked hard to improve my methods where I have been made aware of failings,” he wrote. “Although I tend towards a leadership role, I have always made sure that I have solicited opinions and feedback where involved with the coaching staff of various teams or on the executive.” He concludes the letter by saying he has always “spoken out against bullying,” and cannot abide manoeuvrings by those with a personal agenda. “I cannot countenance being associated
with or appearing to condone such and this sort of thing (in the media) actions within our association,” he doesn’t help,” Dorkin said. “You’ll get politics in every sport wrote. “Effective immediately, I am tendering my resignation from the and everywhere in life, not just hockposition of president of the Arnprior ey. “Hockey is just the greatest thing Minor Hockey Association.” This is the second year in a row in the world.

Visitors to the Arnprior and District Museum can check out two new exhibits. Program director Kayla Shartau said the two exhibits are on loan from the Canadian Museum of Nature. The first one features the monarch butterfly, which has displays on life cycles and migration patterns as well as a batch of live butterflies – they were mostly caterpillars in the transformation stage when photographed on Sept. 10. The second exhibit is much smaller and is called ‘Birds in the box’ with a focus on the birds of Ontario. Both exhibits can be viewed at the museum from now until the end of October.

Muslim leader calls defaced sign a hate crime Continued from page 1
The reference to more Muslims may have to do with the Liberal position on Syrian refugees, though the Conservatives have also announced a plan to bring more people from the war-torn region to Canada. He said he doesn’t know who would do such a thing, though it was likely a supporter of extreme conservatism. “I don’t know who it was and I don’t want to know,” Lehoux said. “All I know is it isn’t representative of a lot of people. I am confident that whoever defaced our sign was not typical of Conservative Party supporters.” However, he added that Conser-
vative leader Stephen Harper has incited “systematic fear-mongering against Muslims” and doesn’t continue Canada’s long tradition of welcoming those in need. The backlash on social media has been swift. Lehoux’s Facebook page won 390 ‘likes’ and 80 (mostly supportive) comments. The issue made the front of Reddit, a site with many followers. Lehoux said he is even getting numerous donations from people across Canada. At least eight Liberal signs near White Lake have also been destroyed. ISLAM CARE CENTRE
Omar Mahfoudhi is executive director at Islam Care Centre in Ottawa. He called it a serious issue that should not be downplayed. “Of course this is hate speech, and it points to the need for more civic engagement on behalf of the community at large, as well as having more Muslims involved in the political process,” he said via email. “We wish the candidate all the best in representing his constituents and dealing with such societal challenges.” Hate speech laws are embedded in the Criminal Code of Canada, along with the Human Rights Act and provincial, territorial and federal legislations.

Renfrew County stats paint ‘grim picture’ of children in need: NDP Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDP candidate Dan McCarthy has issued a news release expressing alarme about the number of families in Renfrew County waiting for affordable housing and child care. McCarthy, a Burnstown resident and retired labour lawyer, says he meets frequently with families in need who are being ignored by the federal government and hurt by its policies. “According to County of Renfrew statistics, which underestimate the need for the entire riding, there are over 900 eligible families on the wait list for affordable housing and approximately 300 families with 450 children wait-listed for child care subsidies,” he said. As a federal candidate, McCarthy was reminded at the opening session of the Renfrew County Poverty Reduction Forum last week that in 1989 all parties promised to eliminate child poverty by 2000. In February of this year, 25 years after a promise not kept, federal politicians of all stripes in response to an NDP motion again pledged to create a national poverty elimination strategy.
“While the national media focus on party leaders and campaign controversies, important local issues and the real impact on families and children can fly under the radar,” McCarthy said. The poverty reduction forum was co-hosted by the County of Renfrew, the City of Pembroke and the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN). The goal is to create a local Poverty Reduction Strategy specific to local needs. “The forum reminds me that behind the local statistics, which are dreadful, there are real families in great need,” McCarthy said. “And there are dedicated educators, health care professionals, not-for-profit workers and community volunteers doing the best they can in the void created by a lack of federal political will and political consensus. “The Liberals promised a childcare program in 1997, 2000 and again in 2004 and the Conservatives promised 125,000 daycare spaces in 2004, but nothing was delivered and the current childcare promises by the Conservatives and Liberals will pay for a few days of daycare per month,” he said. “We cannot postpone a na-
tional, affordable childcare program any longer.” Since the declaration to end child poverty in 1989, funding for national affordable housing has declined by 46 per cent despite the fact it is the largest budget expense faced by families. About 365,000 federal subsidies are expiring. “What is most disturbing is that Canada is the only G8 country without a housing strategy,” said McCarthy, “and that is why the NDP is promising to invest more than $2 billion by 2020 to maintain current funding for housing cooperatives and social housing and to create 10,000 affordable units over the next 10 years.” The participants at the forum made it clear, he said, that tackling child poverty is doable. In addition to childcare and affordable housing, income security and food security are necessary. They noted that the SUBMITTED United Kingdom raised 1.1 million Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon, left, discusses poverty issues with children out of poverty over a de- federal NDP candidate Dan McCarthy at the Renfrew County Poverty cade by addressing these four basic Reduction Forum in Pembroke last week. issues. “We need to raise the federal min- and territories,” he said.

cation saving and fund apprenticeships among other campaign announcement. The Conservatives, if re-elected, plan to double what the government contributes to their children’s Registered Education Savings
Plans (RESPs), she noted. Doubling the matching federal contributions will result in rates for middle-income families increasing from 10 cents to 20 cents per dollar on the first $500 contributed each year, and from 20 cents to 40 cents per dollar on the first $500 contributed each year for lowerincome families. Gallant also said the Conservatives plan to expand the Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit. “As the old saying goes – if you want a job that’ll always be in demand, become a plumber,” said Gallant. “ The demand for skilled and licensed tradespersons is ever growing, which is why the Federal Government is helping them get the on the job training they require for certification with this tax credit.” The Conservative promise to increase the maximum credit from $2,000 to $2,500 and extend it to the third and fourth years of apprenticeship training. Gallant also welcomed a Conservative proposal to bring new funding and support for local museums across Canada. The party has said it will introduce an endowment inR0013474137/1001

centive fund with matching federal dollars to help support local museums. The program will be capped at approximately $15 million per year along with other conditions consistent with the existing arts-related incentive fund. In another news release, Gallant points out the Conservatives, if re-elected will increase the maximum annual Canada Disability Savings Grant for low- and middle-class families from $3,500 to $4,000. The goal of the program is to allow parents and family members of disabled children to invest money in a stable, secure fund that will be there to support the disabled child in the future when needed. Gallant also applauded the Conservative Party’s plan to invest a further $200 million into improving high-speed Internet access in rural areas. “When I talk to residents of the Upper Ottawa Valley, one of their complaints is the lack of fast, affordable high-speed Internet access,” said Gallant. “Some areas of the Valley have Internet speeds of 6 Gigabits per second, which was considered a fast speed 20 years ago, but is woefully slow on today’s Internet. These outof-date internet speeds are not only bad for households, but bad for businesses which are looking to enter our increasingly digital economy.” Areas targeted for improvement in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke by the Connecting Canadians program includes large parts of Madawaska Valley Township, Bonnechere Valley Township, and Brudenell, Lyndoch, and Raglan Township, as well as other communities in the heart of the Upper Ottawa Valley.
A Liberal government will make sure that Canadian seniors get the secure and dignified retirement they deserve, said Jeff Lehoux, Liberal candidate for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. “With record levels of household debt and an economy in recession, it is no wonder why Canadians in Renfrew County– and across the country – are worried about their retirement,” said Lehoux. “Right now, on av-
erage, a retired person receives just $618 per month from the Canada Pension Plan – hardly enough to live on. Our seniors have worked their entire lives, and should not have to struggle to get the dignified retirement they have earned.” As part of our three-point plan to create jobs and grow the middle-class a Liberal government will work with the provinces and territories to sig-
nificantly reform our retirement security system by: Reversing the Conservative changes to the eligibility age for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement to 65 from 67; immediately boosting the Guaranteed Income Supplement for single low-income seniors by ten percent; and by prioritizing significant new investment in affordable housing and seniors’ facilities as part of a Liberal
government’s commitment to a new, ten-year investment of nearly $20 billion in social infrastructure. “Only the Liberals have a plan to ensure that all seniors are able to retire with security,” said Mr. Lehoux. “Seniors account for over 20% of the population in our riding and the Liberal plan will have a positive impact by helping them make ends meet.”
Family and teddy bears There were 33 vendors during the Healing in the Valley wellness and craft show in the Nick Smith Centre on Sept. 19. They came from Arnprior, McNab-Braeside, Petawawa and Ottawa to offer a variety of options to customers.

Cruel thefts unCanadian
T
he heart-rending images coming out of Europe and the Middle East of desperate Syrians refugees undergoing hardship and death as they struggle to escape a vicious war and find a better life for their families has struck a chord with many Canadians. For the most part, we’re a compassionate lot, thankful that we live in such a peaceful, prosperous country. We could be more sympathetic to the plight of some of our own more isolated citizens, especially those on native Indian reserves, but we tend to respond well when disaster strikes in other parts of the world. The image of Alan Kurdi’s lifeless body washed up on the Turkish shoreline helped make the plight of the Syrian refugees a federal election issue and resulted in calls to streamline the process to allow more displaced people into Canada. However, the compassion for the refugees hasn’t been universal. Some of the comments on social media in reaction to the media reports have been disturbing. ‘Stay at home’, ‘we can’t afford to take more in’, ‘they’re all terrorists’, ‘we need to look after our own first’. Of course, we can do better in taking care of our own, especially our First Nations people, but that doesn’t preclude Canada from doing more to help a refugee crisis that has grown to extraordinary proportions. The callousness by some to the desperation is symptomatic of a society that is in danger of turning away from Canadians’ traditional
tendency toward empathy and tolerance. That there is an element that doesn’t care about anything other than their own immediate needs manifest itself lately in three disturbing crimes of opportunity locally. First, there was the theft of produce, money and sentimentally valuable baskets at an ‘honour’ stand on Division Street just outside Arnprior. Honour produce stands are a Valley tradition that have worked well for decades. It would be a shame if they were chased out of existence by a few unscrupulous thieves. Then there was the theft of the Bradys’ award-winning maple syrup exhibits at the Renfrew Fair. The exhibits are one of the most endearing aspects of our rural fairs. Robbing exhibitors of their pride and joy shows a lack of understanding of all the work that goes into the display. And finally there were the unfeeling cad(s) who went around the White Lake cemetery and stole many of the decoration day flowers from the gravesites. The culprits must have known how heartsick such a cold-hearted act would have made the victims. But they obviously didn’t care. Why such people are so insensitive or ignorant is hard to fathom. Fortunately, they are in the minority. It’s up to the majority to help keep it that way. Whether they be parents, friends, teachers, employers or anyone else who might have influence on the creeps responsible, they should be impressing on them how unacceptable their actions are.

Islamophobic graffiti on Liberal candidate’s sign To the Editor: Volunteers all over the riding spend hours planting signs for their party. They are your neighbours. Whatever your party affiliation, it is a crime to interfere with these signs. Signs get stolen, but what is so frustrating is backtracking to do sign patrol and replace them. It costs money
which is donated by folks like you. During this campaign, our team of volunteers has faced removal and damage from private property and graffiti. The most disturbing thus far was at Black Donald Road and Calabogie Road. Not only was there graffiti on the sign, but it was Islamophobic. Our candidate, an injured Afghanistan vet, was labelled
Jihad Jeff, which tells us that the perpetrator did not even know that Canada was fighting the Jihadic Taliban! Sad that such ignorant folk have the right to vote! The police have been notified.

Partners made library summer programs possible It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we work together, and the Arnprior Public Library has many individuals and organizations to thank for the help and support they offered us this summer. Our TD Summer Reading Club consisted of 231 participants who filled 1,419 programming spaces in 78 programs. During the months of July and August, 9,822 items were borrowed from our children’s collection. One hundred sixteen TD Summer Reading Club participants who logged at least 10
library visits were invited to our end-of-summer celebration and enjoyed a variety of fantastic interactive exhibits from our visitors, the Museum of Science and Technology. Highlights included the planetarium, stomp rockets, messy science and the opportunity to become a gyroscope! We are so fortunate the Museum travelled to Arnprior and shared their amazing resources with us. The Children’s Department would like to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the Arnprior Optimists, Rotary Club of Arnprior, Northern Credit Union, O’Brien Theatre, Sweet and Sassy Co., Wes’ Chips,
The Ice Shack, Dairy Queen, the Opportunity Shop, Ottawa Therapy Dogs, Scotty MacLaren and the TD Bank for their ongoing corporate sponsorship of the national TD Summer Reading Club. We benefitted from grants provided through Canada Summer Jobs and Grants Ontario’s Summer Experience Program, which enabled us to hire an enthusiastic and talented team of summer students.

To the Editor:
Select leaders based on their future visions of Canada To the Editor: The problem with political elections is similar to the problem of going to war. Leaders often go to war utilizing the tactics of the last war, only to lose when confronted by more imaginative combatants i.e. the U.S./Vietnam war or Russian/Afghan war. Political rhetoric so often looks backward at past successes and extrapolates past policy into a vision of the future. Unlike financial advice, which warns that past performance is no indication of future success, the problem with extrapolating into the future is no one can ever predict future events. For example, Star Trek movies don’t show a single LED computer screen or light on the Enterprise. So how will the political parties fit with a future world with climate change (global warming), massive human migration (millions
of immigrants), major economic slowdown (China) and military-terrorist activity (global)? The key to success is not an extrapolated past political party, rather an open, creative mind. The problem for all parties is the longer they stay in power the more insulated their thinking becomes. The leaders develop smaller circles of influence, where ideas become more homogenous with less room for creativity. Often a result of experienced caucus members leaving the party inner circle is John Baird. A truly open mind will force one’s imagination to conform to the evidence of reality whether we like the outcome or not. The problem is: we all see reality through the tinted lens of our growing experience, some so dark that they barely see the reality at all. That is the only way to make sense of sun-loving tourists who stood on Malaysian
beaches filming the tidal wave. Greenhouse deniers will only see the reality of climate change when a mid-winter tornado tears their house apart. It’s why some people continue to text and drive. They just cannot see the magnitude of the mistake they are making. When was the last time we heard a politician utter the phrase ‘I was wrong?’ Surely we don’t want leaders with limited vision in positions of government power. So let us query all political candidates about their vision of a futuristic Canada in an unpredictable future world. Listen carefully to determine if their answer reaches backwards or implies an open creative mind willing to conform to the evidence of our future reality. This type of leadership will ensure the best of many possible futures for all of us. Joseph Schwartz Douglas

The winds of change appear to be blowing, to what extent we’ll not know fully until the night they count ‘em up. And when these winds blow, they bring about conversations as to what that change might look like nationally and locally. On a national scale, we are one of 338 ridings in the nation, and as such, our influence is often meagre, no matter if we sit on the side of government or opposition. That’s mostly because cabinet posts are generally awarded to either ridings in urban areas or to members who demonstrate the potential to be something more than just a cheerleader for party policy. Locally, we are one riding, but to those who live here, the most important one of all. And so it ought to be, as these are our interests being represented in Ottawa. So the question is, who best to do this? First, before anything, I would like to know when Moses came down the mountain with a tablet that said that only the NDP or the Liberals have the right to present themselves as agents of change. How are they, along with the Conservatives, the only people who can have a point of view on things? As I’ve been promoting the entry of an independent in this riding for several years, no one should be surprised if I were to say that I’m delighted at the presence of one in this race, nor should they express any wonderment at me actually considering to vote for one. And I hardly think of myself as some sort of rebel for doing so. I’ve voted Conservative before federally, but that was before they became the Reform Party in a different sweater, so that won’t happen this time. I’ve voted Liberal, but then the whole gun thing happened, making it appear virtually impossible for a Liberal in this riding to do well, especially with the party still
favouring gun control. As for the NDP, well, I legitimately considered it, but frankly, certain policies (50% + 1 sovereignty margin in Quebec, abolishment of the senate, and quitting NATO) are, in my opinion, as naive as they are reckless. Not to mention their position on gun control being seriously at odds with the demonstrated will of the riding. So I can’t see them winning either. And so the idea, at least to me, that those wishing for change would trample all over themselves to sup-
“I would like to know when Moses came down the mountain with a tablet that said that only the NDP or the Liberals have the right to present themselves as agents of change. “
port either of the two parties that support gun control, in a riding vehemently against it, just doesn’t wash. The notion that the presence of an independent candidate splits the opposition vote, thereby “ruining” the chances of the “legitimate” candidates, is hard to accept. It reveals an example of the self-serving logic that has been thrown around by advocates of those self-styled “legitimate” parties. A quick check of the facts from 2011 shows the independent candidate finishing second in that election, with the NDP and Liberal candidates back in the distance, garnering some 3,000 votes less apiece. So one might, with perfect integrity, suggest that perhaps followers of those two parties, in a unifying spirit of
change, free themselves from the shackles that bind them to their colours, and support the independent. Because, as the argument would plausibly go, that would be enough to chase the devil from the room. I’ve heard it suggested, more times than I’m comfortable with, that an independent MP would not be entitled to use the Parliamentary Library. Imagine, a duly-elected MP, equal to each of the other duly-elected MPs, not having access to a parliamentary institution? Breathtaking. Would they deny him use of the washroom as well? People who make points like this may need to have their facts questioned, and by extension, perhaps their judgment as well. They add no legitimate clarity to the discussion, and only serve to confuse well-meaning voters from making what they hope will be the best decision for them. Any one of us is entitled to run for our federal parliament as much as any other, as the sun shines equally upon us all. It takes a tremendous amount of courage, devotion, time, and dedication to put your name out there, then accept the criticism that comes with it. All candidates should share equal praise for doing so. But to single one out as being somewhat “less” than the others belies an arrogance and self-entitlement that should be in no way appealing to those who wish to make an objective and earnest choice. Yes, the current independent candidate, Hector Clouthier, has run before, experiencing both victory and defeat. And the things he’s learned while doing so represent, to me, invaluable experience for anyone wishing to truly represent this riding. I’d venture to say he’s been taught some hard lessons by voters. So much so, that he appears to be willing to listen to them all the more. Steve Jones Renfrew

Riding needs change, not an Independent Regarding an Independent candidate: An Independent has little or no influence in government. They do not have use of the Parliamentary Library. They do not have the support of a caucus to support any bills they may put forward in the House of Commons. Independent members lack resources. Much documentation comes from the party caucuses and as independents do not belong to any caucus they are more or less on their own.
I am surprised that Hec Clouthier threw his hat in the mix (pun intended). With this election he is going for a hat trick. He has not won as an Independent. His presence in the last election took votes from the major parties and helped elect Ms. Gallant again. I do not understand why he has done so. Hec believes that he has many contacts in Ottawa, but in truth, his contacts have moved on. Let’s face it, our generation must ‘pass the torch to a new generation’, as John Fitzgerald Kennedy said
at his inauguration in 1960. It is difficult for we boomers and war babies to let go. I know because I had to face that in my position as a librarian. By retiring, our library in Greater Madawaska has taken on a new life. That decision was good for me, but most of all, it was good for our municipality. I ask Mr. Clouthier to rethink his decision. RNP needs change. I happen to like Hec. I love eccentrics and characters. He certainly follows his own drum
Valley Sears closing linked to poor customer service? To the Editor I can help shed some light on some possible reasons for Sears Canada to be leaving the Ottawa Valley. It may be due to customer service, an important piece of consumer goods delivery. I had purchased a riding lawn mower from sears a couple of years ago, on two separate occasions I have needed to order parts, not too bad considering the lawn I cut. On both occasions products that needed replacing took several weeks to arrive. the last time I ordered a part, last summer June 15, a drive belt, it arrived Sept. 12, that is four months. When I had contacted Sears Canada to inquire to the delays, I realized I was speaking with someone who was not familiar with our location ( I was originally offering to pick up) assuming I was speaking with someone in Ottawa. I was actually speaking to someone in the Phillippines. Yes, Sears Canada Phillippines, really! I then tried to contact the Arnprior
Sears and voice my concerns and the person I was speaking to told me that she receives calls like this on a regular basis and said that soon there would not be Sears in the area for this very reason - poor customer service. In this day in age the, shopping online is bigger that it has ever been. Sears Canada was able to offer seamless customer service - it was their bread and butter. I cannot tell you if a Canadian company needs to operate in the Phillippines to keep cost down or for whatever reason; I find it difficult to understand how a company such as Sears Canada operates distribution from warehouse half way around the world. Old fashioned customer service goes along way no matter where you live but here in the Ottawa Valley it is part of our culture, friendly dependable service. It is sad to see one of our originals miss the mark. Collins G. Ferguson Arnprior
and that is often a good thing, but in this election, we need to bang the drum for a new generation. It is obvious that I support Jeff Lehoux and Justin Trudeau.
Canada is in a recession and just as Franklin D. Roosevelt pulled the U.S. out of the Great Depression by getting his country back to work and investing in infrastructure, so too, will Canada benefit by
this investment at a time when the interest rate is so low. ‘Staying the course’ has not worked. Mary-Joan Hale Calabogie

A new tradition is long overdue To the Editor: I have been a Cheryl Gallant (Stephen Harper) voter for a long time. But the past few years I feel like my eyes have finally been opened and I see Ms. Gallant for who she really is! She spoke with me when first the tracks and trains were disappearing from the area; told me there would be a new commuter train system shuttling workers back and forth from Arnprior and upper valley to Ottawa. That was a few years ago now. I wonder will we ever live to see that! Just recently she voted against door-to-door mail delivery and she represents a riding made up of a lot of retired and elderly people, most are not into computers - are from the old school – and have their bills come to the door and pay them at the bank in person! How does she expect these people to get to community mail boxes and what happens in winter with slip and falls? But the straw that broke the camel’s back, she had her annual meet the constituents at the town hall just recently. I called her office for an appointment only to be

told she was fully booked. Could she not have taken an extra few minutes? Parliament is off for the summer! But she just opened her campaign office to great fanfare and media coverage spent time there. Oh, I forgot it’s all about election time. Will you ever see her in that office again? I think not. I went a couple of times during the last campaign. Never did I get to speak with her once! She wants my vote but couldn’t take an extra half hour at the town hall to explain her handout which came in the mail, or be in her campaign office more than just once. Well, as Leanne Kernaghan wrote last week, start your own tradition. Well, for me it’s better late than never! A new tradition has been long overdue. Let’s hope other voters with blinders on will read Leanne and my letters and follow our lead! Janet Sabourin Arnprior

With six choices in this election, it is crucial that we choose well. Since 2000 our MP has been ignored by the government to our detriment. She is relegated to a corner of the House, has never been invited to Cabinet and only makes the news when she looks foolish. Our riding has been ignored in every capacity except for the military. If the base was somewhere else, we would have received nothing from this government. Any expenditure is simply the result of previous members ensuring the military base was here and this
government’s love of war. Electing an independent this election would be a catastrophe. We need an MP who will truly be our voice in Ottawa. We need an MP who will represent our opinions and concerns. We need an MP who will be heard. Jeff Lehoux will work well with Team Trudeau. He will not be shuffled off to a corner as an embarrassment. He will not be wandering around as an Independent. He will be an integral part of the next government and he will represent us well. Manou Ghadaksaz Arnprior

To have a pet go missing is a devastating experience. To many people, pets are like their children. Sushi has been missing since July 11 and I can’t begin to imagine what her owner must be feeling. Sushi is scared, she is tired and she is hungry. We are asking for your help. If you think you have seen Sushi please take a photo and phone Connie immediately 613-2035360. Do not try to approach her, do not chase her because this will only make her more frightened and she will

Nature has its ups and downs Autumn will soon be here. Leaves are starting to reveal their hidden colours, and northern birds continue to pass through our region. Two very different animals are also on the move, but neither are leaving nor entering our area. Their movements are of a vertical nature, with one moving down and the other moving up. Over the past weeks many of you have reported seeing stick insects on your windows or outside walls. These are Northern Walking Sticks and it appears to be a good year for these intriguing insects. We don’t see these twig look-alikes very often because they usually reside up high in the tree canopy. Walking Sticks are leaf eaters, and oaks are their mainstay. Although they dine in high places, the love life of Walking Sticks can take place near ground level. These peculiar insects move slowly, and their lovemaking is done at a no different pace.
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Photos by MICHAEL RUNTZ
During those special occasions, males employ an unusual apparatus at the back end of their twig-like body. A pair of clamp-like claspers lock onto the female’s abdomen during mating, keeping the pair handcuffed together. And not just for a brief time: mating lasts from one to several days! Unique among insects, Walking Sticks eggs look remarkably like seeds of spring wildflowers. Those seeds contain a special protein package that ants cannot resist.
This ant is just about to take off on its nuptial flight. Ants carry the seeds to underground chambers for storage. When the time is right, the packages are eaten and the seeds moved into special waste chambers where they later germinate. Walking Stick eggs, which are laid on the ground, also contain an ant snack, and like wildflower seeds, are carried underground and protected. Next spring, when the eggs hatch, the little Walking Sticks march out of the ground and ascend a tree
where they remain for the rest of the year. Incidentally, if a young Walking Stick loses a leg, it grows back the next time the little insect molts into a new exoskeleton. While Walking Sticks have been descending to the ground, other insects have been moving up out of it. However, unlike wingless stick insects, these creatures can fly. See NATURE, page 14
Using ‘handcuffs,’ this male Walking Stick will remain attached to the female while they mate, which can last several days.

Blue-green algae continues to rear ugly head in region
Walking Stick eggs contain an edible cap that entices ants to carry them away.
Michael Runtz
Nature is absolutely fascinating Continued from page 13
One late afternoon I watched hundreds, possibly thousands of tiny, brown, winged ants emerging from the ground. Pushed along by their wingless sisters, the winged ants climbed up grass blades, and immediately took off. Ants are usually wingless but after several years, established colonies produce winged individuals in late summer. Unlike
the thousands of wingless female workers, winged ants are sexually active. Males (which are produced from unfertilized eggs!) die soon after mating but a lucky few of the countless mated queens, which drop their wings right after mating and absorb their now-useless flight muscles as food, survive winter and establish a new colony of flightless workers the following spring. It is remarkable how the lives
of two very different animals – Walking Sticks and Ants – intersect at this time of year. And how animals that live in the ground and others that dwell high up in trees can benefit each other in such very different ways. Nature is complex and She sure is fascinating! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.
The increasing incidence of bluegreen algae in this area has prompted the Renfrew County and District Health Unit to issue another advisory for people to be on guard against its presence. In a news release last week, the health unit reminded residents that blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) can occur in local lakes. The algae was most recently found in Ryan Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park, after being found in other waterways including Muskrat Lake near Cobden. Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in lakes, rivers and ponds. Some species have the potential to produce toxins which may be harmful to people and animals. Toxins are released into the water when the algae cells are damaged or begin to decay. Direct contact with the toxin may cause skin irritation and if ingested in higher concentrations, may result in vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain. The health unit recommends that people using any waterbody for recreational or drinking water purposes should become familiar with bluegreen algae so they can make informed
decisions about using the water. Although algae blooms degrade with time, the length of time potential toxins remain in the area is dependent upon local water movement characteristics. If a blue-green algae bloom is present, the Renfrew County and District Health Unit recommends you take the following precautions: • avoid direct contact with the bloom; • avoid using the water for drinking, bathing or showering and do not allow children, pets or livestock to drink or swim in the water; • boiling the water for drinking purposes should be avoided because boiling may release more toxins into the water; • toxins that may be released by blue-green algae are not removed by small scale treatment methods such as filtration, chlorination or ultraviolet light disinfection. Surface water is never a safe source of drinking water without effective treatment; For more information, visit the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change website at http://www. ontario.ca/environment-and-energy/ blue-green-algae.

CHEO launches Dream lottery Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario sets a great example in supporting the region’s sick children. The community will be joining in with its support for another exciting Dream of a Lifetime Lottery. CHEO launched its 25th Dream of Lifetime Lottery on Monday, Sept. 14 at this year’s Minto Dream Home just outside of Manotick. The grand prize package is located at 800 Percival Cres. and is a fully furnished, exquisitely decorated home. The grand prize comes with $100,000 in cash, a 2016 Chevy Camaro from Meyers Automotive Group, house cleaning for a year, $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy and furnishings by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries. That is only the first of many great prizes to be won. The lottery launch featured a gathering of community builders who have teamed up to make this venture a success. Graham Richardson, CTV coanchor was the master of ceremonies. “This is one of my
favourite events,” said Richardson. He joked that when you look at the interest in the dream house lottery compared to your everyday election story there is no comparison. People really care about CHEO, he said. CHEO Foundation president and CEO Kevin Keohane said last year’s lottery was a sell-out and this year organizers expect the same. He said that this year the fundraising goal is $3 million and over the past 25 years the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery had raised $46 million for CHEO. Keohane stressed the importance of the community and team effort for the lottery and said, “If everyone thinks of just their part – everyone involved in this project will make it a success.” Bruce Squires is the Vice President of People, Strategy and Performance at CHEO. He said, “Every year, with the support of the community CHEO is able to help 500,000 children.” One child who has had the good fortune to have CHEO in her life is 14-year-old Clara von Maltzahn. She attended the lottery launch and had a few words to say.
When she was six-years-old she was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. The treatments she has received at CHEO have made a difference. “CHEO is huge in my life,” she said. “If CHEO had not treated me I would be in a wheelchair right now. I would be miserable.” Richardson asked Clara what she thought of the house. She paused before asking him if he had seen the television downstairs, which brought a laugh from those gathered. On a more serious note Clara said, “CHEO is my hope for the future. They took my arthritis away. They are everything.” The Dream of a Lifetime Lottery is a great opportunity to give luck a helping hand and support a great institution at the same time. There will only be 65,000 tickets sold and that makes for very good odds of grabbing one of the 4,789 prizes. You can visit the dream home yourself from noon to 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Joseph Morin/METROLAND
This $1.7 million grand prize is up for grabs in this year’s Dream of a Lifetime Lottery for CHEO; the prize includes the home and vehicle pictured here, and more. The new dream home and all that goes with it is the first prize but there are others. The second prize is worth over $161,000 and includes $100,000 cash. Along with cash prizes there is a 2016 Nissan Rogue SL, AWD from Myers Automotive Group, a seven-day Eastern or Western Caribbean Cruise for two from Destination Anywhere and an Ottawa Senators 100 Level Flex 40 season ticket package. The early bird package is valued at more than $95,000 but
tickets must be purchased by Nov. 13, 2015. This particular package includes a trip for two to the 2016 NHL all-star game in Nashville, $50,000 cash and a 2016 Volkswagon Jetta Highline from Myers Automotive group. Also a trip for two to the five-star Majestic Elegance hotel, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic from Marlin Travel and Transat Vacations. You could also win 2,500 early bird bonus tickets that will give you another chance at the many prizes in the final
draws. The 50/50 draw has returned. This year the guaranteed payout will be $250,000. The more tickets sold means a higher payout. When you purchase a Dream of a Lifetime Lottery ticket, remember to purchase your tickets for the 50/50 draw. The cost is one for $10, five for $25 and 15 for $15. Last year, the jackpot ended up at $1,041,400,so the 50/50 winner took home $520,700. See WIN, page 17

WATER RESTRICTIONS The Watering Restrictions By-law 04-14 is designed to regulate and control the usage of water, within the Almonte Ward, in the hot summer months. Between May 1st and September 30th each year there are limitations on who can water and at what time. Odd number houses may water on odd calendar days and even numbered houses may water on even numbered days. Watering may occur between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. each day and from only one connection. Midday is the hottest time of the day and the water is more likely to be wasted through evaporation when watering at this time. Watering from more than one connection simply uses too much water at once. A significant amount of new grass or sod is exempted from these provisions for one week. Any other violations of the by-law may result in a fine.

OPP investigate local ‘sextortion’ cases sherry.haaima@metroland.com
It’s a sign of the high tech times. “Sextortion” is becoming a more common crime as several local victims have discovered after recent incidents, said Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Const. Janice Sawbridge. Police are investigating after two unrelated extortion cases were recently reported. “You have to be so careful when you meet someone on social media,” said Sawbridge. “You never really know who you’re talking to.” In each case the victims began a relationship with someone they met on a social media site, say police. The first victim told police the suspect was able to access intimate photos of a sexual nature stored on the victim’s phone. The suspect threatened to forward the photos to the victim’s family and friends unless money was trans-
ferred to them through a money transfer service. The second victim was coerced to perform a sexual act in front of a webcam for the suspect to observe. The suspect then advised the victim they had been videotaped and the tape would be sent to family members unless a sum of money was transferred to the suspect. This type of extortion or ‘sextortion’ is a common computer scam, say police. Victims are often embarrassed and do not report to police what is happening. In order to protect yourself be careful in adding friends to social media accounts, and don’t be fooled into undressing or performing sexual acts in front of webcams, advise police. “This is a good reminder to people not to send photos and to be very careful using web cams,” said Sawbridge. “Extortion cases of this nature are becoming more and more common.” Police understand the complexity of these kinds of cases and can help, she

victims in extortion cases and they send money, the suspect will almost always return. The worst thing you can do is send money.” It is important that all incidents are reported to police. “If this has happened to anyone else, please call and report it,” said Sawbridge. Police do not believe the suspects in this case are local, she added. “That’s also a big warning sign. If some-

one you’ve met online said they’re local and then ask for money to be transferred out of province or out of the country, that person is lying,” said Sawbridge. In these cases the victims were adults, but youth are particularly vulnerable to this kind of extortion. “When this happens to young people, we see some dangerous things happen,” said Sawbridge.

People can really be traumatized by these events,” she said. “We strongly advice people to think twice before sending photos or doing stuff in front of a camera,” she said. “And never send money to people you don’t know.” Neither of the victims in the recent cases sent money, which is a good thing, said Sawbridge. “When people are

The magnificent Sand Point House brings historic elegance to modern luxury living. This 1837 Stone Estate is nestled on an exquisitely landscaped property at 1543 River Road, with spectacular views of the Ottawa River. With more than 5,000 sqft of opulent interior, the mansion is a superlative blend of age old style and state-of –the-art amenities. The home has five spacious bedrooms plus another in the Guest Wing, three baths (one with a 7’ claw foot soaker tub), four stately wood burning fireplaces (each with its own unique design and finish), formal dining room with a spectacular view of the Ottawa River, elegant living room (also with a breathtaking river view), a massive library with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves and ornate hand painted wall murals that were commissioned for Lord Elgin’s visit to the home in the 1800’s. There’s also a Family Room with an original stone-wall fireplace and bread oven, radiant floor heating and loft above with luxury ensuite, which can also serve as a separate living wing, ornately trimmed archways, original millwork and remarkable detail throughout. The home features a Deslaurier custom kitchen – floor to ceiling cabinets, center JennAir cooktop island, granite countertops, under cabinet lighting, double wall oven and corner sink. The exterior is of classic European Estate design, with immaculate original stone and Irish dry-stone walls, wrought iron fencing and gates with gold “Coronation Orbs”, charming courtyards, spring-fed fountains, well-tended & flourishing English Gardens, glistening in-ground pool and patio area offering ultra-private bathing compliments of the walls of lush concord grapevines (producing 30-40lbs of grapes per season), Kentucky Coffee trees, Koi Pond (with a school of very content Koi), perennials and shrubs of every type and a private laneway with 2-car garage and workshop. The charming courtyard off the Family Room patio incorporates an original stone wall portion for added strength and lovely historic design, completed in 2006. Built of iconic blue Renfrew County limestone, Sand Point House was built by lumber baron Alexander McDonell. Some parts, including the original kitchen, date to an even earlier time in Upper Canada’s formative years. The cast-iron fence, made in Brockville, is decorated regally with orbs and appears to be a celebration of the 1837 coronation of Queen Victoria. McDonell had emigrated from Scotland in the first decade of 19th century, initially settling in Perth with his seven siblings and parents. He moved to Sand Point in the 1820’s where he became friends with Archibald McNab, the last Laird of McNab. In 1856, during the Upper Canadian Rebellion troops were mustered at Sand Point House. A purveyor of goods and services to lumbermen and the lumber trade, McDonell created both Sand Point and Braeside. So important was Sand Point that in 1860 Sir John A MacDonald and Lord Elgin visited and stayed at the McDonell’s home. The magnificent gilded plasterwork and wall murals in the dining room created for that visit are still present along with many other original features including a 40 foot long hallway, internal shuttered windows , a winding staircase with black walnut accents and handrail, original door surrounds, doors, bread oven and Georgian kitchen fire place. Many of the gardens have been restored to an 1860 plan. The house enjoys a situation of privacy but also has magnificent views across the Ottawa River toward Norway Bay. Listed at $849,900, this impressive residence would be ideal as a destination Bed and Breakfast or a unique corporate Retreat, boutique inn, luxury spa as well as a private home. There are endless possibilities with this stately mansion only 25 minutes from Kanata along the Ottawa River. It’s like owning a piece of Canadian history in a home of luxury.

OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH & SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2-4PM Old town charm meets modern living Locals still call it ‘Max Smolkin’s place’. The big house at 262 Bell St. in Arnprior is steeped in charm and character dating back nearly a century. Originally constructed in 1917, the solid brick and frame building exemplifies the functional and aesthetic traits of the time. The Smolkin family inhabited the dwelling for nearly 40 years, from the 1940s to 1980s, and Max was responsible for many of the upgrades and renovations which still serve today. Early on, Max made a lot changes to the house to reinforce its clean lines and sturdy stance. He hired a carpenter from Sullivan’s to carry out extensive work on the house and spent $7K - $8K to renovate. He had the stairs and most of the plain woodwork refinished, in keeping with his humble nature and the aesthetics of the period. He also had a new banister made on the front staircase. The master bedroom was originally two bedrooms that the carpenter opened up into the spacious, 22’ x 11’ comfortable room it is today. There are a few traces of more decorative moldings and trim on the baseboards in the rooms upstairs at the back of the house. The current kitchen was then the dining room and the modern 16’ x 15’ family room was the Smolkin’s kitchen. The present dining room was Max’s den where he had a small desk built beneath the side window. He used to entertain there with games of bridge or checkers. Today there is a cozy 9’ x 8’ den on the second level. There are four bedrooms in total on the second level, along with a convenient laundry. The home has three bathrooms, two full baths on second level (one recently updated with quartz counter, tub insert with curved glass shower door) and one powder room on the main floor. Max fixed up the basement “rumpus room” himself, and even laid the tiles. The basement also has a workshop, store room and utility room. There was only a window where the contemporary 15’ x 9’ solarium is now. The back half of the garage was already there when he moved in. The Smolkins added the front portion. They could park two cars in there. The house features two baths, one on the main floor and a full bath on the second level. The home is well-placed on an ample 75’ x 150’ lot, with privacy fence, in-ground pool, mature trees and the beautifully landscaped backyard features deck, pool patio and cedar pergola with three varieties of grapes providing shade, and a delicious snack! Heating is from a modern, efficient forced air gas furnace and climate control is assured with central air conditioning. The home is within walking distance of all Arnprior amenities and shopping, schools, hospital, library, river and parks.

KidSport is a non-profit organization that gives financial assistance to kids who want to play sports. An application must be processed as the help can go anywhere from equipment to playing fees. Recreation director Glenn Arthur is behind the initiative and along with Jaime Jones, the first-ever KidSport slo-pitch tournament was organized on Sept. 19 at the
ABBA ball fields in Arnprior. All proceeds were going to the organization. “The money is kept local,” said Jones. The rain put a damper on the final game but Jones deemed the tournament a success. “We raised a total of $2,102 on the day,” he said and was quite pleased with the amount. “The winner team was Snakes and Beavers, Our sponsor, Mountain Creek golf course gave a golf package for the whole

Arnprior A’s win baseball title over the Rebels Arnprior A’s won the Arnprior Renfrew Tuesday Night Recreational Baseball League Championship Sept. 1 with a convincing 16-5 win over the Renfrew Rebels. Playing on their home field, A’s hitters exploded for 16 hits on route for their second title in two years. Rebels had an early 3-1 lead but could not hold on as the A’s exploded for 15 more runs. Madison Ohlman, Justin McFarlin, Keith Smith, Josh Lesk, Jamie Lockett, Ken Waltonand Randy Ohlman all had perfect nights at the plate. Kade Laventure’s in-the-park home run helped deflate
any thoughts of a comeback by the Rebels. Pitching for the A’s were Don Fulton, Keith Smith and Jason Fournier. The semi-final games were played in late August, after two rainouts. Arnprior Big Horns, the league’s regular season champions at 8-3, lost a heartbreaker 7-6 to the last-place Renfrew Rebels (2-8), while the Arnprior A’s (5-6) upset the 6-4 second-place Renfrew Legends 12-5. For more information on the league and the team, you can visit the A’s website http://arnprior-baseball.tripod. com.

Packers win in shootout against Perth and gear up for home opener Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
It was a hard-fought battle on Sept. 18. The Arnprior Packers travelled to Perth to play the Blue Wings for their first match-up within the new CCHL 2 league. The result was a 4-3 shootout win for Arnprior. Packers were outshot 49-28 as the Blue Wings held the lead well into the third period.
“We looked like a midget team for 30 minutes,” said Bill Griese. “We were on our heels for 30 minutes. We were locked in our own end and basically out worked for half of the game.” The first period was scoreless until Zack Elliott netted a goal for Arnprior during the second period. The Blue Wings lead of 3-1 held until Liam Poirier scored in the third and Elliott got his
second to tie the game. “Perth is a very good team and their quickness and intensity had us confused and intimidated,” said Griese. “Mat Dods made some great saves to keep the game close. Not sure what clicked but Mike and Pat McGrath, turned things around for us and we gained some confidence and fed off both of them.” The overtime led to a shootout. It would take six players before a goal finished the game.
“Both teams had a man advantage in the overtime but both goaltenders played well. Elliot would get his third of the game to win it for us. We know we were fortunate to win this game, but also what to expect from Perth the next time we play them.” The Packers home opener is Friday and anyone under 16 is admitted free. The game is versus the Stittsville Royals and slated for 7:30 start time.

It’s becoming a good racing year for Arnprior’s Jim Barry. Battling to a major race win at the Luskville dragway on June 14, Barry went for a second victory on Sept. 5. “It was the biggest race we won,” said Barry. “The car ran good and the driving was exceptional, just on the ball.” The following day the car raced in a semifinal bout. Julie Dubé was again in the driver’s seat for both days. For those unfamiliar, the drag racing that happens at a place like Luskville doesn’t follow the rule where, whoever gets to the finish line first, wins it all. The driver must go through trial runs and decide on a time that the car will be consistently running - going closest to the time within hundreds of the second will lead to a win. This concept is known as bracket racing. The hot temperatures played on the time, said Barry. The car could have run 5.13 to 5.28 seconds over the course of the weekend. The

Mountain Creek team captures this year’s ladies’ Mulvihill Cup Wendy Tessier
Mountain Creek co-captain
Sand Point Golf Course, if you’ve never played it, is a tough enough course under the best of conditions, having a slope rating of 123 from the women’s red and men’s blue tees. Throw in dark clouds, cold drizzle, a sodden course and unforgiving rough, then Sand Point becomes even more of a challenge. But that didn’t deter the three intrepid 12-woman teams from Madawaska, Mountain Creek, and the host club, Sand Point, from showing up to play in the eighth year of the Mulvihill Cup. The captains of the three participating clubs (Lisa Poirier, Connie Deschamps and Pat Grainger) decided on a net play format, that is total (gross) score for the round minus the player’s established handicap to arrive at a net score. Lowest total net scores of a given team win the day. Handicaps ranged from a 7 to a 40 which is quite the mix. Competitor foursomes were derived from a simple draw, so a 36-handicapper, for example, could end up playing with a 10 handicapper. Golf is very democratic that way,
WENDY TESSIER/SUBMITTED
The Mulvihill Cup will have Mountain Creek inscribed on it this year. which is the very reason behind maintaining a handicap: obviously, all golfers are not equal in ability, but with a handicap, all golfers can compete equally, thus levelling the playing field. Were it not for handicaps, it would be a foregone conclusion who would win. A golfer shooting say, in the 70s will typically best a B golfer shooting in the 90s. This is why the net format was chosen. It enabled all the competitors to play as though all were equal in ability.
Although, many players were slightly daunted to realize, that in the drawn foursomes, one might end up playing another’s club champion or A class champion as Madawaska’s Moe Dunnigan, Sand Point’s Janice Nych and Mountain Creek’s Connie Deschamps – champions all - were in the mix. In the final tally, Madawaska took a total 872 points, Sand Point, 861 and Mountain Creek with 825 was presented with the Mulvihill Cup for a second year in a row. Madawaska
Golf Course will host the Mulvihill Cup in 2016. While individual play isn’t part of the format, it’s worth noting some ladies’ efforts given the conditions. For Madawaska, Dunnigan, 84 gross and Mary Jo Kelly, net 70; for Sand Point, Nych, gross 87, Ilene Lavoie and Mary Carmen, 75 net; for Mountain Creek, Connie Deschamps, gross 89 and Sally McKenzie, net 67. With players coming in wet, cold, thirsty and hungry, Sand Point’s new Greenside Tavern revived and warmed all with plates of pleasingly presented and tasty chicken brochettes, salsa salad, glazed potatoes and an ice-creamed-topped, steaming apple crisp. Mulvihill Insurance, for whom the Cup is named, provided the red and white wines with which the three clubs thanked the host club and toasted one another. Thus ended a day of indomitable spirit, good competitive play, and the pleasure of having made new golf friends. Little wonder the Mulvihill Cup is enjoying annual success. SENIOR MEN’S RESULTS
At the Ottawa Valley Golf Asso-
ciation Senior Men’s Intersectionals in the Champion’s Nest at Metcalfe, Mountain Creek battled and won first place in Division K with 42 points, followed by Cedar Glen, 35; Champion’s Nest, 27; and Oaks of Cobden, 16. Six-point winners were from Mountain Creek were Doug Gillis, Denis Tessier, Stu Muir, Jim Gault, and Wayne Deschamps; from Cedar Glen Gary Lafave; from Champions Nest Ian Watson and Don Dowell; and from Oaks of Cobden Brian Dunlop. In Division H, Kingsway took first place with 50 points and Madawaska placed second with 38. Madawaska’s Barry Craig and Hal Grainger each took six points. In Division E, host course Sand Point took first place with 45 points. Six-point winners were Woody Johnston, Terry Olmstead, Dave Girard, and Steve Dowd. HOLE-IN-ONE

Dr. Bernard Thébaud, a regenerative medicine researcher at the CHEO Research Institute, is a world-renowned scientist and pediatrician.. He has dedicated his career to helping some of the most medically fragile patients breathe on their own.
More recently, Dr. Thébaud and his research team were the first to discover that stem cells from umbilical cords not only prevent lung damage but can rescue already damaged lungs. This discovery was made right here in Ottawa!
Premature infants, those born earlier than the usual 37 weeks of pregnancy, are a major focus of his research given that half of all babies born prematurely suffer longterm lung damage. Dr. Thébaud garnered international attention earlier in his career after publishing promising results in an experimental model of premature lung injury.
Now, using the knowledge he has gained by studying the mechanisms of lung development, illness, and repair, he is fine-tuning the new treatments he designed to treat incurable lung diseases. With his ambitious research program and with your help, he hopes to bring these safe and effective cell-based therapies into the clinic within the next two years.

Please support United Way: warden Staff
While funding will continue to serve basic human needs and crisis services, the United Way is committed to directing more resources into preventive measures and identifying root causes of problems faced in the region, Emon said. “Residents throughout our region are traditionally very generous and caring,” added Emon in his appeal. “I hope you will continue to give when you are approached or have an opportunity to donate to your community through the United Way. Together, we are possibility.” To donate or find out more, visit www.renfrewcountyunitedway.ca.
Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon issued an appeal for residents to support the United Way as its annual fundraising campaign kicked off Sept. 14. “I’m appealing to all residents of Renfrew County who have the financial ability to support this important campaign,” said Emon, the United Way’s honourary campaign chair. The campaign will run to Dec. 18, raising funds to help those in need and create “significant and lasting change” in Renfrew County. “Renfrew County faces some difficult and complex problems,” Emon said in his United Way message. “The United Way and its partner agencies are mobilizing resources and building community capacities to address them. But they need your support to do so effectively.” Emon said donations are an “investment” that “helps to make our communities healthier and socially inclusive.” The Renfrew County United Way will be focusing the resources on three key areas: From Poverty to Possibility; Healthy People, Strong Communities; and All that Kids can be.

A: In most cases, the Proposal Trustee will not have to sell the business and the owner will continue to operate the business after the consumer proposal is filed.
“Division I” proposal. This type of proposal is also available to individuals who owe more than $250,000.
Many business owners consider business and personal assets and debt one and the same. The business assets –for example, equipment, vehicles or merchandise – are often paid through a mix of personal and business financing (loans, personal credit cards, or lines of credit). Banks will often require the owner to sign off personal guarantees in case the business defaults on the payments. It’s not unusual for the line to become blurred between what is personal and what is business. The Proposal Trustee will assist you in determining what’s what and which option best fits your case.
If both you and your business are in financial difficulty, you may need to consider separate proposals: a consumer proposal for yourself, and a “Division I” proposal for your company. Your Proposal Trustee will help you walk through both processes.
If you are a sole proprietor or a partner in a business, the Proposal Trustee will consider the business assets and debt to ensure the appropriate proposal is filed and a fair deal is offered to all creditors affected.
The main challenge for business owners is that the cash flow is inconsistent. From one week to the next, there is no guarantee of when or how much you will be able to collect to pay your commitments. Once the business has established a good track record and have been in operation for some time (i.e. 3 years or more), you are on more solid footing. Working with a Proposal Trustee, you will be better able to determine if a proposal is viable and how much you can offer in a settlement.
If your business is incorporated, your consumer proposal will generally not affect the business. You’ll still own the corporation, and you’ll remain in charge of it.
The Proposal Trustee will build a realistic cash flow report with you based on your past trends and current contracts to make sure you can afford the payments and that creditors will be treated fairly.
If your corporation is in financial difficulty however, the options vary. There is a proposal process available (if appropriate to your company’s situation), but instead of filing a consumer proposal which is limited to individuals, the corporation may file a

New principal keen on student character development derek.dunn@metroland.com
Students are getting settled back into a routine this month, but for one Arnprior principal the idea of routine may take a little longer. Peter Burnette is the new principal at Walter Zadow Public School, next to Arnprior District High School. Although a challenge, the job isn’t completely unfamiliar; he was acting principal at Walter Zadow about five years ago, and was a student there until he completed Grade 8 in 1987. “This is a fabulous school. It has a great culture of learning,” he said. “I was very excited about the opportunity. I know the staff to be excellent, and I had a great working relationship before with the vice principal. And the staff has a real commitment to learning.” Burnette taught business at the high school for a decade before moving on to principal at Cobden District Public School. He welcomes change as an opportunity to learn and grow as an educator. Along with the basics of education, Burnette is a strong advocate of student character development. The school has long had a BEES (Being Exceptionally Exemplary Student) program that recognizes kids who support their peers. Teachers are on the lookout for examples of respect,

Peter Burnette is back in his elementary school, only this time he’s in the principal’s chair. responsibility, honesty, perseverance, optimism, courage, and more. “It’s about teaching whole-student,” Burnette said. “We want students to be good students and good members of society.” A volunteer with Arnprior Minor Hockey Association, he practices what he preaches when it comes to
being a well-rounded member of the community. The former town councillor (his father, Tom, currently sits on council), Burnette said as a student he was “a pleaser.” He also chuckles and adds as a student in the 1980s he wouldn’t have found himself in the principal’s office for the wrong reasons.

However, his two children also attend Walter Zadow. How do Ben and Anna feel about having Dad nearby all day, every day? “Both are okay with it so far. No, they were excited,” he said. “The kids still think Dad’s cool.” Walter Zadow has 352 students and is the only school in the area to

offer French immersion in Grade 5. From the school website: “In 1860 a large two story school was built on Ottawa Street. In 1864 the Great Railway Celebration was held in this school. “This was at the time when the Brockville and Ottawa Railway reached Arnprior. There was a fire at the school in 1925 and the school was destroyed. All of the students were moved to available spaces across town, including the upper floor of St. John Chrysostom School, and the upper floors of businesses with little or no heat. “One year later the new school was built, the school would eventually be named Walter Zadow Public School, ‘to perpetuate the memory of Walter A. Zadow, supervising principal of Arnprior Public Schools for 26 years until Dec. 4, 1965, “These schools and thousands of today’s citizens are his monument.’ On the cornerstone it reads, June 10, 1925. Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Henry Cockshutt placed the stone. “While Walter Zadow was principal in 1952 a new wing was added. The third wing was added in 1972 officially opening on May 23, 1973 by the Deputy Minister of Education, Dr. E.E. Stewart. T.W. Harkins and D.J. Fraser were the principals at the time.” R0023462775_0924

Spirit of Terry lives on
The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!
People were walking and running the track for Arnprior’s Terry Fox Run on Sept. 20. The run marked 35 years since Terry Fox began his own run in 1980. The style of the event was from 9-1 which allowed people to come and go as they wanted and at their own pace on the fairgrounds. Organizer Stephen Dodd hoped everyone would take a moment to reflect on their contribution to Terry’s legacy. “Your compassion, sense of community, your faith in the cures to come allows this remarkable legacy to flourish.” The legacy has expanded to over 9,000 Terry Fox Runs every year.

Braeside dog off to U.S. competition Shilo is heading for the World Dock Diving Championship in Dubuque, Iowa. A local three year old Chocolate Lab mix (mutt) from Braeside, Shilo and his handler Melanie Wilson have won two Iron Dog titles. The U.S. event is by invitation only, so Wilson is so proud of him. Shilo is a farm bred mix of Chocolate lab, Husky and Border Collie, who has a wonderful personality and loves to give kisses. His owner got him as a companion but he turned out to be much more that just your average mutt. With his high energy, 2 years ago his owner decided to try him out at Avalon Ranch in Renfrew and soon realized his extreme passion for dock diving. He literally vibrates as soon as he sees the pool. In his first year of
competition, he won his first Iron dog award. Owner and dog were hooked! Now, this year he has excelled beyond our wildest dreams, and is now a Titled Iron dog due to his recent medal standings. His 1st discipline, Big Air is judged by how far a dog jumps off the dock into the 35 foot pool. He started jumping at 10 feet, two years ago and is currently jumping 20 feet 2 inches in this discipline. The 2nd event, is called Speed Retrieve. Dogs are timed as they run 20 feet down the dock, jump and power swim to the end of the 35 foot pool and retrieve a bumper toy. Shilo’s time has improved to 7.2 seconds. He has an invite to the worlds in this category too. The 3rd event called E.V (Extreme Vertical) is one the most exciting of all events. Dogs are required
to run down the dock, jump 8 feet out and as high as they can vertically. His records jump was 6 feet 10 inches! But just last weekend, owner and dog traveled to the U.S. where he competed in the Connecticut Nationals and he won 1st place jumping 7”! This jump now puts him in the High Flyers elite class and he will also compete in the Worlds. Currently he is ranked 5th in the Dock Dogs International club. Wilson is a Personal Support Worker who loves helping others and loves to take Shilo to visit at the nursing homes. Costs to participate in the World Championship in Iowa is very expensive, so they are doing a fundraiser Sept 25 – 27 at the entrance to the mall just outside Metro. If you can please come by and support Shilo.

Think like a horse
• To be safe. Accidents are often a result of a misunderstanding • To minimize stress. A stressed rider makes for a stressed horse • To communicate with a horse in terms that they can understand Horse facts: • Horses have both binocular and monocular vision • Horses have big ears and can twist nearly 180degress from front to back as they focus on gathering sounds • The word horse whisper comes from the cowboy who talks to his horse during training in a low-volume mumbling. This soothing tone calms the horse A big thank you goes out to Julie at JCS Stables in McNab-Braeside. Your patience and expertise is greatly appreciated.

The summer of 2015 was an extremely memorable summer for me. It was a summer where I returned
twenty miles an hour, now you have a sense of what it feels like. It is a physical sport that challenges the rider physically, cardiovascular and mentally. Horseback riding is so therapeutic that it has been know to help those that are developmentally challenged and now there are programs offered to help soldiers suffering from PTSD. What makes it more than just a riding lesson is the bond between rider and horse. For example, when I ride Rosie I am responsible for her well being. I have to bring her into the barn from the pasture. It is then my responsibility to make sure that she is clean to ride and that her hooves are free of debris. It is
my responsibility to make sure that all the riding equipment or tack is properly fitted to allow for a comfortable ride for both of us. After the lesson is over it is my responsibility to remove all the tack and in the summer, cool her down with a quick shower. It is my responsibility to clean up after her. This is unlike pooping and scooping for your dog. It is big, heavy and requires a shovel. The good news is that horse manure, given there grain diet, has no offensive odour. Once Rosie is cleaned up and all tack removed she is once again turned out to enjoy her stable mates in the pasture.

to my love of horses after a 40-plus year hiatus. However, for my lovely wife Tena, my passion meant spending Sunday’s at various horse shows throughout Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley. It is amazing to think that the first equid to appear on earth 55 million years ago was eohippus or hyracotherium. The modern day horse, Equus caballus has been domesticated for approximately 5,000 years. I’m became involved in English riding and found the experience exhilarating. Who ever said that riding was easy and that the horse does all the work obviously has never been on a horse. Imagine your partner weighing almost ten times your weight, imagine being thrown off something that stands six or seven feet tall and can move at speeds of ten or

Lola’s 100th Birthday The family of the late LOLA MULVIHILL wish to thank everyone who attended Mom’s 100th Birthday at the Wing August 22nd 2015 to help her celebrate her milestone. We wish to thank – the girls who worked the kitchen, those who donated sandwiches, her granddaughters for the platters of veggies & fruit and the Perry girls who helped with the decorating. A very special thanks to the boys who supplied the music. Mom thoroughly enjoyed the day – especially meeting her friends and meeting with friends & relatives whom she hadn’t seen for a while. Many thanks for cards and gifts she received. She sure enjoyed going through all her cards and gifts. Mom was known as ‘The Queen of Cross Avenue’ and had terrific neighbours for which we were very thankful. Once again a sincere thank you to all for making our Mom ‘Queen for the Day!’ Thank you to Peter Clark for attending and for The Mercury for placing Mom’s Birthday picture and write up in the paper.

A final thank you to my dearest wife Dodie departed, family, comrades and friends. Dodie was my guide and anchor over the past sixtyfive years (almost). She was always the homemaker, Mother, and that steadying influence. In sports, travel and my career, she always was there with her love and care.

Kartrina to hold special Bellyfit class for Arnprior food bank Staff
The shelves at the Arnprior and District Food Bank are nearly empty and a local fitness expert wants to help. Certified Bellyfit instructor Katrina Kahn will hold a special class in Arnprior on Wednesday, Sept. 30 in support of the food bank. The 7:30 p.m. class will be held at the Kenwood Athletic Club, 78 Edwards St. in Kahn’s private, mirrored studio with a sprung floor. With the upcoming holiday season the need is great and Fitness With Katrina wants to give back, explained Kahn. “All that we ask to participate is a non-perishable donation to the Arnprior Food Bank.�
She said participants will need indoor running shoes, a mat, water and a towel. “Come and enjoy a fitness class while helping the community you live in,� she urges. “Strong and healthy families make strong and healthy communities.� Kahn is accepting food bank donations at Fitness With Katrina. As well, people can drop off non-perishable food items for the campaign at the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide office on McGonigal Street (at back door if street construction is still continuing). For more information on bellyfit or the special class, email Kahn at kat153@yahoo.com, call 613-622-5705 or visit https://www.facebook. com/FitnessWithKatrina.

Getting ready for the winter weather took much preparation
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
any broken panes replaced. The barns had to be ‘tight’, as Father called it, to help keep out the cold blasts of winter. While the days were still warm, Father and my brothers got the ice house ready for the days when fresh blocks would be brought up from the frozen Bonnecherre river. The sodden sawdust would be shoveled out and spread behind the little black building to dry, and then it would be hauled out of the yard down towards the gravel pit. The ice house would be ready for new and dry sawdust brought from the saw mill after the big blocks of ice had been stacked inside. Our stock of roasts of pork, hams and sausages was just about depleted
A sure sign the summer season was coming to an end was seeing Mother scour the sauerkraut barrel with a brush and a solution of vinegar, salt and water, and rolling it out into the yard to be dried by the sun. after summer eating and feeding the droves of relatives who came over the summer months, and the smoke house was being made ready for the new batches being readied as Fall
came about. Hickory, Father’s favourite wood for the smoke house, would be neatly piled outside the smoke house to augment the piles of cedar and maple logs that would smolder until the meats were ready for the table. Proof that the summer would soon be gone were the rows of preserves, jams, and pickles that filled the swinging shelves in the dug-out that passed for a cellar under the house. Mother had worked, often into the night, to ‘put down’ jar upon jar to feed us over the winter months. A sure sign the summer season was coming to an end was seeing Mother scour the sauerkraut barrel with a brush and a solution of vinegar, salt and water, and rolling it out into the yard to be dried by the sun. Soon we would be shredding cabbage and the barrel had to be ready. I knew too this time of year that we were really getting serious about the changing season when Father would come home from Scott’s Hardware with new red tubing, and whatever else he needed to make his beer. Already, a choice bag of barley was sitting in the summer kitchen waiting for the process.
Even though bad Marguirite time and again told me one day Father would end up in jail for making homemade booze, I looked forward eagerly to the day he would start the process. I loved the smell of the fermenting barley, and my brothers and I couldn’t wait until the bloated seeds were discarded after serving their purpose. We would gather hands full, grab a hen, feed it the fermented grain, which it gobbled up eagerly, and then we’d laugh hysterically, as the drunken fowl careened round the yard in a staggering stupor! Yes, the season was changing. Back then we didn’t just roll from summer into fall and then into winter. Proper preparation was needed if we were to survive the cold blasts of winter that before long would close us into that corner of the Valley. We would be ready. Yes, indeed, we would be ready.

Even though it was still hot as blazes, I knew summer would soon disappear. Signs were everywhere. Mother had started to set out the clothes we would be wearing when summer turned into Fall and then into Winter. The big trunk that sat in the upstairs hall had on it neat piles of warmer underwear, the long beige stockings I loathed, and sweaters to wear until we changed into our heavier coats. Downstairs in a corner of the kitchen, the old Singer sewing machine would stay opened up, as Mother sewed ripped seams and hemmed trousers, and turned collars on my brother’s shirts. Buttons would be checked to make sure they were secure, and by the time the cold weather set in with a vengeance, we would be ready. I knew the season was changing too because our fields were bare. The hay was in the mow in the barn, the harvesting was done, and Father had already started the Fall plowing in the back fields. Bags of grain stood in the farthest corner of the cow byre, and as he did every Fall or late summer, windows in the barns were made secure, and

And it was a packed house at the Burnstown music Mecca, with plenty to do – including adopting a pet. Bands included Hello Hello and Trophy Husbands. Sue Yates, left, and Margaret Robertson said business was brisk for the Valley Animal Rescue organization. The silent auction, 50/50 and more brought in much needed funds.

Birding open-houses to be held at Almonte Lagoons Every autumn, tens of thousands of shorebirds migrate through our area from nesting grounds in the high Arctic. Hundreds stop off to feed and ‘recharge’ at the Almonte Lagoons area behind the water treatment plant on Wolf Grove Road. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalist’s (MVFN) Birding Committee invites you to attend one of four
birding open houses at the Almonte lagoons observation tower. MVFN built and continue to maintain an observation tower which overlooks the lagoons, as well as a short trail into the tower off Ramsay Concession 8. For fifteen years now, birders from all over the Province and beyond have made this location, a prime viewing spot for shorebirds
and other species. While walking the short 200 m trail into the tower one can also see many fall warbler and sparrow species. Two Dates
The open houses take place from 3 to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays, Sept. 30 and Oct. 7. Walk in and view a mul-
titude of shore birds in migration. On each of these occasions, you will be greeted at the trail start by an MVFN member, who will point out directions to the tower. An expert birder with spotting scope will be on site at the tower to give all who attend an opportunity to learn the identity of the different birds and a bit about them. Birding experts will include

Fair to hold chainsaw carving contest Carp Fair is not taking place until Sept. 25-27, but Arnprior M&R Feeds owner Barry Dean is getting a head start for it. For the first time, the fair will be showcasing an Ontario five-man chainsaw competition. Dean said each man would carve three items, which will be sold in an auction sale afterwards. He hopes $10,000 to $15,000 can be raised. “These (competitors) are the cream of the crop,” said Dean. Above artist Josh Dagg show off his carving skills at M&R Feeds. His completed work will be two chainsaws and a sign that says Carp Fair. Dagg has participated internationally, even going to England last August. He will also be involved in the Carp carving contest. SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND

the Valley Bluegrass Festival annually on his Horton farm, will join musicians Dale Ducharme and Kelli Trottier and the Palmer Rapids Twin Music Festival in the hall of fame. The awards show and induction ceremony will take place at 7 p.m. at Centrepointe Theatre in Ottawa, Throughout the evening, the audience will be entertained by more than 20 of the best artists and musicians the Ottawa Valley has to offer. Included will be Bob Johnston’s talented songstress daughter, Jennifer Johnston. The entertainers will be performing the latest country songs and some all-time favourites. Tickets
After the show, the audience will have an opportunity to meet and mingle with the 2015 inductees, many other Hall of Famers and the evening’s entertainers. Reserved seat tickets at $40 per person can be bought online through Centrepointe Theatre’s website (centrepointetheatre.com) or by phone toll free at 1866-752-5231. Johnston is an educator, farmer, entrepreneur, politician and musician. He was born in Renfrew and was first introduced to music at Renfrew Collegiate Institute when he joined the Cadet and Lanark Renfrew Regimental Pipe bands. He is a founding member and host of the Valley Bluegrass Festival, which is a family-oriented festival in the friendly Ottawa Valley. It just celebrated its 21st year. The festival is held every July on the Johnston Farm on Castleford Road in Horton Johnston has been actively involved in the community and served as councillor and mayor for Horton Township. He is a founding member of the Countrymen Band, which for more than 50 years has played Renfrew Country, West Quebec and Eastern Ontario venues. Ducharme, grew up in Ottawa and to use a cliché,
he was ‘raised on country music’. He was fortunate enough to have a father, Dan Ducharme, an aspiring country music singer/musician, to teach him the rules of the road when it comes to playing and singing. Over last 35 years, Dale Duchrme has had the opportunity to play with Valley notables such as Hi & Dri Country, George Essery, Ralph Carlson, Neville Wells, Gary Fairburn and Donna Moon, and Rick Thompson to name a few. He also served as the Hall of Fame Committee president from 2005 to 2008. Trottier’s music developed from deep Scottish and French roots, together with other contemporary and traditional music influences from throughout the Ottawa Valley. She has had a performing, teaching and recording career. Her talents have carried her to stages across North America, Europe, the Middle East and the Far North and she brings her crisp fiddling, angelic voice and fiery step-dance to all of her performances. She toured as a featured soloist for nine years in the Sensational String production, Bowfire, called the “finest line-up of fiddle and violin virtuosi ever assembled on one stage.” She has been nominated three times as Fiddle Player of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association and has performed live and in studio with George Fox, Ronnie Prophet, Wayne Rostad, Lucille Starr, Tracy Brown, Randall Prescott, Bobby Lalonde and other stars. The Palmer Rapids Twin Musical Festival came to be in 1980 when founded by Lloyd Fleguel. Al Schutt has taken over the reins of the festival and has been involved since 1981. He bought the grounds in 2001 and the family festival has flourished. The aim, goal and objective of the festival is to keep the talent basically Canadian content. Each year over 90 per cent of the stage performers are from Canada, many from the Ottawa Valley.

Richard Gill’s muse of late is a relentless fascination with art history; the lives of the masters, anecdotes and interesting tidbits of their time, how we imagine their spaces, the inner workings of their creative minds, their muses, obsessions, passions, vices, turmoil...impact on world events. Now in his 70th year our own local modern-day master of sculpted clay relief remarks that this work is perhaps his most challenging to date and opens his own studio, inviting us in on a visual journey revealing the masters creative spaces. Think of it as a Studio Tour of the masters. Imagine … Cezanne, Matisse, Modigliani, Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Monet, Renoir, Calder, Emily Carr, Tom Thompson, Pollock,

“There is no retirement for an artist, it’s your way of living so there is no end to it.” - Henry Moore Culture can mean many things: it can be your language, your food, your religion, your fashion, your music,your art, your muse. Every fall as summer leaves behind a last hurrah of blazing colour we embark on journeys and adventures to drink in every last drop of warmth and visual stimulation. It’s a time when artists often open their doors letting us in to their creative realms. Curious by nature we enter...often in awe and wonder. What if we could embark on a studio tour of the masters in our own back yard? It can be done. Burnstown artist and sculptor

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Hasty reactions can lead to unnecessary problems, Aries. Instead of making assumptions, wait until you get a clear picture before you come to any conclusions this week. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, others are impressed with your analysis and ability to get the job done at work. Don’t be surprised if you soon find yourself in line for a promotion. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 There is nothing wrong with trying to make special moments last as long as they can, Gemini. If you want to linger over a romantic dinner or keep the party going, do so. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Try to find a balance between your need for connection and a desire to be alone, Cancer. This week you may have to do some juggling, but it is nothing you can’t handle. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may feel free and adaptable right now, but in reality your plans are much more fixed. You may not want to stray too far from what’s expected. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, the depth of your feelings this week may come as a surprise to you. Everything makes you feel a bit more emotional than usual. It is okay to spend some time in thought.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your mood begins to lift as you find many reasons to celebrate this week. The simplest things can bring you happiness. Don’t forget to share joy with others. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you can’t quite figure out if you are happy or sad, because each new opportunity seems like an emotional roller coaster. Enjoy the ride and appreciate the good times. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you can appreciate all the little details that come with tasks this week. You may see things that others don’t because you are paying extra attention to your surroundings. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Right now you aren’t very happy about having to deal with someone who isn’t always honest with you, Capricorn. Just maintain a neutral attitude and you will find happiness. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you appreciate all the positive feelings coming your way, especially in a week as challenging as this one. Make the most of all of the positive vibes. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you may have a hard time distinguishing between fantasy and reality the next few days. But enjoy the extra time to daydream. 0924
